Heartburn and acid reflux affect tens of millions of Americans, disrupting sleep, meals, and daily life. Acid Reflux and Heartburn In 30 Minutes is written by J. Thomas Lamont, M.D., a gastroenterologist and Harvard Medical School Professor who has treated thousands of patients with heartburn, acid reflux, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Using plain-English explanations and real patient case studies, Dr. Lamont walks patients and families through what causes reflux, how it is diagnosed, and what treatment options are available — from lifestyle changes and medications to surgery.
This gold Benjamin Franklin Award-winning guide is not a do-it-yourself treatment manual. A doctor is needed to diagnose and manage serious reflux. But if you want to understand what your physician is recommending and why — or simply make sense of a confusing diagnosis — this is the book to read first.

- Patients diagnosed with GERD or acid reflux preparing to discuss treatment with their doctor
- Pregnant women experiencing heartburn and looking for safe management guidance

- Surgical treatment of reflux, including the LINX device
- Four patient case studies covering a range of reflux scenarios and outcomes

"There are three strengths to this work: The writing takes complicated subject matter and makes it easy to comprehend; stock illustrations augment the text; and the content is extremely focused. Lamont’s superb credentials should instill confidence in readers." - Kirkus

Store description
Sharing is the best surprise When we share our excess with others we¿re often surprised by what we feel, what changes in us, and who we get to know in the process. Sharehouse Goods exists to create that experience for as many people as possible. Sharehouse Goods receives excess stuff from individuals or organizations (our sharers), and then we liquidate that stuff, creating jobs for people in Milwaukee. The process is simple: we receive what people are willing to share, and then we sell it online or at our storefront, creating revenue for the sharers (to keep or to donate), and jobs for people who are struggling to find employment. There¿s a lot of sharing going on, and even more surprises, at Sharehouse Goods.…
